Re: Descendants of Edgar Families of Randolph County, Illinois

Robert, if you are a descendant of the Edgar folk I wonder if you would like to get involved in our Edgar DNA project?Of course, we'd need a male Edgar to participant in the actual Y-chromosome analysis, but we are trying to get as many Edgars involved as possible.Perhaps you could direct me to some male Edgars? I had a friend (deceased now) whose mother was an Edgar and they have relatives living in Illinois.I've tried without success to make contact with them, but am still trying.

We've had very interesting results in our project and are continuing to try and establish relationships.The different haplogroups offer an interesting study and is quite informative.

Incidentally my mother was an Edgar; therefore, I had to get a male Edgar first cousin to contribute the DNA, which is very simple process.
